DEDICATION We dedicate this Alchemist to the students of Clarkdale High School. You are the school. You are the participants in its activities when you are in school and its representatives after you leave. What the school is depends on what you are and what you do. That is your responsibility, for the school reflects your personalities.
FOREWORD And so we come to the end of the year. It was a good year, and we hope that in our book you will find echoes of pleasant days. The days are gone but as you turn these pages, perhaps some of them will come back to you, for as Thomas Moore said " ... memory brings the light Of other days around me."

Dear Diary, Thursday, Sept. 16, 1948 Over a week hos gone by of my lost year of high school We started bock Tuesduy, the seventh. It's been fun getting bock into the swing of things and meeting old and new friends Cooch Winters called football practice on August 25 with every eligible man out, so 'Ne're all looking forward to an exciting season. Today the freshmen took their trip to the "C"Â did a swell job with a majority of the seniors going with them.
Dear Diary, Saturday, Sept. 18 I just got home from the freshman reception - hod a wonderful time. The freshmen looked slightly different from the way they did ysterdoy when bathing suits, pajamas and wooden shoes were in style. Gene Lindner surely con Hula - don't let him fool you We ployed Holbrook just before the dance. They won 26-0, but that's just the first game. The first edition of the "Wolf Howl"' was on the market yesterday - Don and Helen ore the co editors.
Not only the boys - but also the girls can hit the nail on the head. New in the curriculum this year was shop work for girls. The nearly finished pieces would indicate they did more than pound their thumbs.

A class in home economics plans and prepares a meal, no doubt learning the shortest way to a man's heart. Tuesday, Sept. 28 Deer Diary, Friday we played our second game with Winslow here. The boys are improving but not e:iough- final score 51-12. Yesterday we had our first National Assembly, "'The Chime Players." We had to sit out on the lawn in front of the club house because of the outbreak of polio in Jerome and Clarkdale. Today we started something new - everyone running for a Forum office petitions to get on the ballot. Very interesting. Tuesday, Oct. 5 Dear Diary, Today is the primary election. It surely is exciting with the school divided into two par ties. the Maroons and the Whites. Speaking of parties- yesterday we (the seniors, that is) gave Coach a surprise birthday party during our civics class. Loads of fun with Angel's song, "'Three Blind Mice."

Saturday, Oct. 16 Dear Diary, Just got home from cold Flagstaff - played a freezing game. Too cold for us - score 50-6. We played Seligman the night before - 38-6. The boys had to schedule the two in a row because polio had caused the postponement of an earlier game. The Juniors have or-·· dered their class "50" rings. We also ordered our announcements and personal cards. Friday, Oct. 22 Dear Diary, Today the juniors read plays to pick their class play. Wednesday we got our report cards. On Monday the driver training class began with Mr. Jenkin teaching. The car is expected in January. A Mobile X-ray machine was here on Monday and Tuesday. We were all X-rayed.

We didn't go to school. Monday we had our second National Assembly-Bob Wood, an artist. He drew in colored chalks, and many of the boys found out their futures through their names. The juniors also started play practice Monday. The seniors beat the freshman girls 82-10 in the second volley ball game. Friday, Nov. 19 Dear Diary, Gee, how I wish Coach would let the girls play football. The boys all had a luscious Spanish dinner at "Cab's," and the night before they had the football banquet here at school. So-we want to play football. Coach called the boys Monday and started basketball prac tice. I know they'll do better in basketball than in football-even tho' they were in there pitching all the time. On Wednesday the seniors took the sophomore girls for a 72-10 lead in the volley ball game held alter school-the muscle girls, we call 'em. Thanksgiving vaca tion is next week.
